Vertebrate odorant binding proteins as antimicrobial humoral components of innate immunity for pathogenic microorganisms.

Vertebrate odorant binding proteins as antimicrobial humoral components of innate immunity for pathogenic microorganisms.

The bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) and the yeast Candida albicans (CA) are pathogens that cohabit the mucosa of the respiratory tracts of animals and humans. Their virulence is largely determined by chemical communication driven by quorum sensing systems (QS), and the cross perception of thei...
